Oooh, maybe you know:
What camera / film might have been used for those sepia pictures I keep finding in my family’s old stuff?
Btw: That description with the black blacks was bang-on. Also the smoking, and the haircuts.
- cjk2 3y agoThe sepia pictures are probably that colour because of the toner that was used at the time when they were printed. The silver halides used in photographic paper weren't very stable and were still quite light sensitive. Sepia toner, as well as giving an artistic view, were used to convert the unstable halides to silver sulfide which lasted a hell of a lot longer (as you found out :) So not film or camera specific really.
